[[Distributed computing]] is used for increasing the potential for parallel execution on modern CPU architectures continues, the use of distributed systems is essential to achieve performance benefits from the available [[Parallel computing|parallelism]].  High-performance [[Computer cluster|cluster computing]] is a well-known use of distributed systems for performance improvements.

Distributed computing and clustering can negatively impact latency while simultaneously increasing load on shared resources, such as database systems. To minimize latency and avoid bottlenecks, distributed computing can benefit significantly from distributed [[cache (computing)|caches]].
